Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 very ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 4 tbsp melted butter
  • 2 tbsp sour cream
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 325°F (163°C) to get it ready for baking the banana bread.
  2. Mash the Bananas: In a bowl, use a fork to mash the very ripe bananas until smooth with some small lumps remaining for texture.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt and set aside.
  4. Whip Sugar and Eggs: Using a stand mixer with a whip attachment, beat the sugar and eggs on medium speed for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes light, fluffy, and pale in color.
  5. Add Oil and Butter: Reduce the mixer speed to low and slowly drizzle in the canola oil and melted butter, mixing gently for about 1 minute to fully incorporate them without losing airiness.
  6. Add Bananas, Sour Cream, and Vanilla: Mix in the mashed bananas, sour cream, and vanilla extract on low speed for another minute to combine well.
  7. Fold in Dry Ingredients: Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients. Be careful not to overmix; just fold until all flour is incorporated to maintain moisture and texture.
  8. Prepare the Loaf Pan: Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit a 9×5-inch loaf pan with overhang. Butter the pan, press the parchment paper inside, butter the paper, and sides thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  9. Pour Batter and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Check the center for doneness; it should not jiggle and a toothpick inserted should come out clean. If not done, continue baking in 10-minute increments up to 1 hour 30 minutes total.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for the best sweetness and flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter once the dry ingredients are added to ensure the bread remains tender.
  • Adjust baking time based on your oven’s accuracy and altitude.
  • Butter and parchment paper help in easy removal of the bread from the pan.
  • Allow the bread to cool for at least 10–15 minutes before removing from the pan to set properly.
